Worth a bit of Googling since I too missed that the 'fall guy guy' fell from grace.
Ref: Cris Carter: Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Fired from Fox Sports 1
Ref: Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Cris Carter Fired from FS1
Carter's career with FS1 took a nasty turn this NFL season, as, according to reports, he was upset with the network choosing another former Hall of Famer, Tight End Tony Gonzalez, to be an analysis on the network's Thursday Night Football coverage. Gonzalez has been with the network since May of 2017 after a short tenure with the CBS football program.
The straw that broke the camel's back was an intense, emotional meeting between Carter and his bosses at the network. At that point, Carter was suspended indefinitely from the air, showing that his days at the network were limited.
